That link provided lately that allowed some to see different issues of the PTJ Journal (I dont receive it since some time):

The PTJ Journal is as interesting it was and always looking neat with nicely written articles and translation .

I particularely appreciated the articles written by Fred Sturm on Claude Montal , the blind technician and French tuner, , often considered as "the father of all pianos technicians" (the first to provide technical writings, and who made an intense work to have the 440 Hz pitch accepted.

Congratulations, Fred STURM. a huge job (on 5 issues)

A friend find a scan of the original paper making Montal "chevalier de la legion d'honneur) in 1851, if of some interest... in 2015 there will be an event for the 150 birthday of his death.

There will be an event for the 150 years of his death

Is the journal on line availeable as a separate option from joining the PTG ?

Apparently, that "leaked" link was a mistake. The PTG webmaster has changed it so that the public no longer has access to on-line journals for free. But non-members can get a paid subscription as Beet states. There are also other technical and educational materials available from the head office.

Hi Chuck, once again my vocabulary is caught...I was thinking about virtual tuners, in the end, they can be dead, deaf or dumb. Not so funny in the end I am afraid. Greetings - Isaac

Isaac - Sorry for poking fun at the 'death, deaf, dead' thing - (English is a confusing language, to be sure) but I couldn't resist. Please understand - I grew up with 2 older brothers, and was the continual butt of jokes during my formative years so I always looked for opportunities to give a little back. Once in a while, I forget my manners, and slip into that frame of mind again.

Your English is much better than my French, I must say. I had several years of college French, and sadly have forgotten most of it.
